Do you sometimes have questions about faith? Immanuel is passionate about thinking critically and acting faithfully, following the compassionate peaceful path of Jesus. We seek to support and challenge each other in being God’s loving presence in our neighborhood and world in very concrete ways. We are people who trust God’s promises—so we can live, act and vote out of hope, rather than fear. Immanuel is a place of welcome for all people – no exceptions!Let’s worship together on Sundays.

During this time of increased construction in our neighborhood, public transit if strongly encouraged. However, if you must drive, please allow extra time to find parking as you navigate the daily road closures.

While we regret the inconveniences, we hope they don’t dissuade you from coming to Immanuel and participating in the services.

Making a Killing: Guns, Greed and the NRAMarch 18, 2018, 2:00pmCentral Lutheran ChurchJoin us for a free showing of the documentary film "Making a Killing: Guns, Greed and the NRA." The film examines how guns, and the billions made off of them, affect the lives of everyday Americans. This is event is co-sponsored by Central Lutheran Church and the Faith Action Network in advance of March 24th's "March for Our Lives" which is being organized by local high school students.

You can create a team, join an existing team or contribute to a team and help us fund ICS programs that serve the homeless and hungry in South Lake Union!

The event will begin at 2:00 PM with a shotgun start – teams of up to 6 people will each begin on a different hole and will progress through all 18 holes. Each team will spread the word and encourage people to donate to their team; raising $500 or more for their team. Prizes will be awarded to the team with the lowest scores, highest score AND the team who raises the most money. Following the golf game, we will have a banquet on the patio where we will serve a delicious meal and distribute awards.
